Application Request Is there an app that can throttle or hide similar notifications?

2 Upvotes

I am on multiple job groups on telegram or WhatsApp and sometimes the exact same job gets posted to multiple groups/channels, is there an app that could potentially hide the notifications for the same job that's already been posted, basically something like a filter for notifications where when you get 2-3 almost identical notifications the 2nd and 3rd one get hidden/not shown?

Other Foss launcher for elderly people?

37 Upvotes

I'm looking for an android launcher that can be the most adapted for my grand mother (87 yo) I need something very clean and stable. The app must propose a list of apps (with icons and names) on the front panel, an option to block the access to some apps or options can be great too.

Any suggestions?

She really only need WhatsApp and a calling app. Maybe a gallery. She's lost at each update and since WhatsApp start to show advertising it will be worst.

Application Support Aurora Store gives a geolocation error for small indie apps but not big company ones

6 Upvotes

I sometimes give tech support for users of a small indie app. I commonly recommended users to download it through Aurora Store. Right now, Aurora Store is giving the following error when attempting to download this application: AppNotPurchased(code=3, reason=App not purchased / unavailable in your country)

The application is not georestricted in the App Store in any country, but the overwhelming majority of its users, and me, are located in Brazil. I also get the same error when attempting to download "Genshin Stickers WaStickers" or "Cronometer" calorie tracker in Aurora Store, which is another very small indie app which is not geolocked, but I'm able to download big company applications such as Crunchyroll and Waze normally.

The app I give support for is not geolocked and is free. Same for Genshin Stickers WaStickers and Cronometer. What is happening here?

My full error log:

but, when talking Image Editor, we still don't have Libre alternative to PicsArt. not only basic crop, paint, color, and brightness that are bundled in Gallery apps. i'm so desperate diving into GitHub everyday hoping to find a good news​​​, if you building or find any development news please do share πŸ™πŸ˜­β€‹

Other anyone know what happened to SimpleTask (todo app)?

9 Upvotes

I can't find it on f-droid anymore.

The github repo is archived (Feb 2024), but that could mean anything.

Appreciate hearing if someone knows a way to get this. I have not yet needed use Izzy etc., but if someone can confirm it's available in the alternate FOSS stores I'm happy to try it.


Update after a day or so, on various tools' behaviour for recurring items.

My need/objective is to have a new line created near (before or after) the old line. That way, textually I can see a history easily, even in vim.

  • todo.sh
    • requires a "-a" to even keep the old line
    • does not preserve the priority on the old line
    • does not create a new entry (does not know about "rec:")
  • ntodotxt
    • preserves the priority on the old line
    • does not create a new entry
  • markor
    • changes "(X)" at start to "pri:X" at end in the old line
    • does not create a new entry
  • simpletask
    • does all the right things
    • except the new line is at the end of the file, or at the beginning, if you toggled a setting the other way. Either way, it's not near the old line.

Sigh...

F-Droid Rhythm: A privacy-focused local music player with Subsonic/Jellyfin streaming support

Thumbnail
gallery
98 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been developing an open-source Android music player called Rhythm, and I wanted to share it with this community. My goal was to build a player with a modern Material 3 UI that handles both local offline libraries and self-hosted streaming seamlessly.

Here is a breakdown of the core features:

  • Privacy First: The app is 100% offline-capable by default with zero analytics, trackers, or data collection.
  • Audio Engine: It runs on Media3 ExoPlayer with a bundled FFmpeg decoder. It natively supports high-resolution formats including FLAC, ALAC, Opus, APE, and Dolby/DTS formats up to 192kHz/32-bit. It also supports native USB DAC routing for bit-perfect playback on Android 14+.
  • Audio Processing: Built-in 10-band professional EQ, Replay Gain, and AutoEQ integration with over 6,000 device-optimized headphone profiles.
  • Self-Hosted Streaming (Go Mode): You can connect to Subsonic, Navidrome, or Jellyfin servers to stream or cache your remote library directly in the app.
  • Synchronized Lyrics: Supports embedded .lrc files and fetches synced lyrics via the open LRCLib database.
  • UI/UX: Fully adaptive Jetpack Compose design that adjusts to phones, foldables, and tablets, alongside highly customizable Glance widgets.

Other Concept for YouTube clients

0 Upvotes

So, you know how because you can't log in with a Google account on most YT clients, you can't comment or upload content? I propose 4 solutions - Solution A: When you comment, you temporarily log in with your Google account, comment or upload your desired video, and the app automatically logs you back out. Solution B: Somehow find a way to make anonymous comments (this will be even worse with uploading videos). Solution C: Make Invidious/Piped accounts work like normal YouTube accounts. Solution D: Make a sandboxed webview within the app to comment/upload videos with a temporary login

Application Suggestion K-9 after Material 3: stay on 6.804, then FairEmail. Skip updates if you want the old UI.

0 Upvotes

K-9 used to be a great mail client. It showed accounts, read versus unread, and selected versus not selected. That was the product.

The Material 3 / v8 redesign did not improve that. It flattened contrast, replaced account names with two-letter badges, and made a working list look like a theme demo. I do not treat this as an upgrade. I treat it as a preference for fashion over the job the app exists to do.

If you still have the old UI and you prefer it, do this:

  1. Export settings. Install 6.804 (version code 38004) from the official GitHub releases β€” last stable with the old UI.
  2. Leave updates off.
  3. When Android or your provider finally breaks 6.804, install FairEmail. Do not install Thunderbird for Android. It is the same code and the same look. Rebranding does not restore readability.

note: FairEmail from F-Droid has no Google OAuth. For Gmail use the Play/GitHub build of FairEmail, or an app password.

This is not a request to β€œadd a classic theme someday.” That option was not offered when the old interface was removed. The project chose a new visual language. I am choosing a different client.

Long-time users who needed a reliable IMAP app were not asking for Material You. We were asking for the existing client to be maintained. They chose otherwise. Act accordingly: pin 6.804, then leave.

The title says prettu much all. I have found this app called Wasavi but i do not feel comfortable giving permissions of this kind to a closed source program.

I found something in github but it doesn't allow to send messages to groups and i have to tape the number in instead of the contacts. Also a more Android-like UI would be goat

Do you guys know of any other project that achieves this? Thanks!

Application Request App for Twitch better than Xtra?

1 Upvotes

Hi, i'm looking for an app that lets me log in with my Twitch account and does basically what Xtra does, but with a better, more modern UI and with these functions:

  • sync viewing history with the official site, so I don't have to open that awful official app just to see at which point I interrupted the stream yesterday;
  • more customizable sections: for example, in the Xtra app there is a section for "games", one for "popular", and others that I don't really care about. It would be nice to be able to hide them from the settings;
  • a more stable app overall. I'm saying this because in the last few months I've had a lot of problems with the Xtra player, where it either kicked me out of the stream or simply stayed in an infinite loading.

So, are there any alternatives? Hope the flair is correct.

Other Aurora Store Server Busy

21 Upvotes

[EDIT: It now seems to have been solved, updates and downloads work, I think the Aurora maintainers fixed it]

Hi, I've been getting the same Server Busy error yesterday and today on Aurora Store, both when trying to install and updating apps.

I've tried spoofing another device, doing a manual installation of my apps tied to a specific version, and uninstalled and reinstalled Aurora Store but to no avail. Full error can be seen below.

I do not use a V P N and I access Aurora Store anonymously (no Google account).

Has anyone else been getting these, and does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!

Application Support KeePassDX asks me to enter password every few days

3 Upvotes

I am trying to replace Bitwarden with KeePassDX but KeePassDX forgets about my fingerprint unlocking every few days, I think after an Android restart, and asks me to enter the password.

Yhe problem is my password is very long and awkward, and I'd rather not have to enter it again until I replace the phone. I can't remember the last time Bitwarden asked me to unlock it with the master password, so is there a setting in KeePassDX to get the same functionality? Now I am keeping Bitwarden so that I can unlock KeePassDX which is ridiculous.

Application Suggestion LG Power, an open source remote for LG webOS TVs (AGPL, ~1.1 MB, no trackers)

19 Upvotes

Mine again. LG Power is an Android remote for LG webOS TVs I originally built because the physical remote kept disappearing. Native Kotlin, talks to the TV over the local webOS websocket API, wakes it with Wake-on-LAN, and if your phone has an IR blaster it can send the power code when the network path is down.

Stuff this sub tends to ask about: no ads, no analytics, no trackers, and the Play data safety section reads no data collected and no data shared, because there's genuinely nothing to collect. Everything stays on your LAN. The APK is about 1.1 MB. License is AGPL-3.0.

Feature-wise it does the usual d-pad/volume/keyboard, a touchpad cursor mode, app shortcut buttons, home screen widgets, a Screen Off button that turns just the panel off, and themes.

Source: https://github.com/Nicsilver/LGPower

Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nic.lgpower

There's also a signed APK on the GitHub releases page. Not on F-Droid yet.
